Fleetwood Mac get 'On With the Show' (Updated 6/5/14)

It's hard to believe it's been nearly 40 years since Fleetwood Mac released its best-selling album "Rumours." The turmoil in the band since then has been well-documented, but now the bandmates are saying the past is the past.

As if hoping to put the rumors to rest for good, the five members of Fleetwood Mac have reunited for an album and an international tour, "On With the Show." They have told multiple media outlets the chemistry between the band is stronger than it ever was, having laid the groundwork for eight tracks for the upcoming project at Studio D in the Village Recorder in Los Angeles back in March.

Now, as Fleetwood Mac prepares for the upcoming tour (rehearsals are scheduled to start in August), the novelty for the band members and for fans is that Christine McVie is back in the fold. She had left the band back in 1998, attributing her departure to a horrible fear of flying (for which she has sought therapeutic treatment). When she reached out to Fleetwood and said she was ready to get on a plane again, it set in motion the chance for the band to perform together again.

What was once just a rock'n'roll fantasy has now materialized as the band gets set to hit the road beginning September 30, 2014 in Minneapolis at the Target Center. Fleetwood Mac will perform 34 shows in 33 cities across North America, wrapping December 20 in Tampa, Florida at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.

Few fans expected the reunion of Fleetwood Mac's classic lineup back in 1997, and at the time no one would've predicted it would still be intact come 2013. But this pop rock act is like a runaway time machine, and they're likely coming to a stage near you.

On April 4, 2013 in Columbus, Ohio, Fleetwood Mac began a North American tour with a set list peppered with brand new songs. The material existed thanks solely to their first batch of new tunes in 10 years, as "Extended Play," found its way to fans the same month and contains the tracks "Sad Angel," "It Takes Time" and "Miss Fantasy." It also includes "Without You," a 'rediscovered' track originally written by Stevie Nicks from the pair's "Buckingham Nicks" project.

Even better for Fleetwood Mac fans? The new stuff followed the release of the expanded edition of "Rumours," their multi-platinum, career-defining disc from 1977. And Nicks has spoken of late as to how the sound of the band is "still evolving" and how there are still "new chapters to be written."

Certainly it all comes as good news to fans of this legendary group, whose two most successful periods were during the late 1960s, and from 1975 to 1987 (when they became a more pop-oriented act). "Rumours" produced four U.S. Top 10 singles and remained on the American albums chart for an astounding 31 weeks, as well as ascending to the top spot in other countries as well.

With 17 studio albums to their name and more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, it's no wonder select members of Fleetwood Mac were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And with their current tour still rolling along, be sure to catch them rockin' in a city near you!
